Looking for projects - open to job offers.
I am a independent economic consultant with strong ties with Intellecon and Reykjavik Economics.
As a private economic consultant I have tremendously diverse experince and have had different roles. I’ve worked independently, as part of a team and as a team leader. I have conducted highly technical academic analysis but also produced as highly accessable, graphic rich material, interactive dashboards and automatic reports.
